ksmedina18 · May 23, 2011, 5:52am

Need help.

Can you give me tips how i can extract this Login.jar…

any commands to extract this.?

I think ark should open it. JSR files are Java archive files.

Hi,

“jar -xvf Login.jar”

should do the trick

That would extract it. What output do you get?

That means you have no java development package installed. But instead of
doing that. Rename the .jar file to .zip and unpack it as zip file.
A .jar file is nothing but a ordinary .zip file with a special structure
inside.

Dear ksmedina18,

Please be more talkative about what you are doing. And about what you have. It should not be nesescary to aks you for every little bit of information. You could have told immediatly after you tried

jar -xvf Login.jar

what happened. Also it would be very nice if you told from the beginning what openSUSE level you use. I for example have 11.2 and on my system there is no problem finding this tool:

henk@boven:~> which jar
/usr/bin/jar
henk@boven:~>

but I would not post this when you tell you use 11.3.

Thanks for giving that tip about .zip

It works. :))

Told you that ark would open it. I don’t think you need to rename it just right click and open with ark or most any archive software. Renaming it just changes the applications associated with that extension.

Of course no real need to rename it, just a quick and dirty trick if someone
cannot find “open with”.
